Re: [TheOptionClub.com] SPX Options?

 

Sorry update forgot YM, and GC...

Sorry bad sentence structure...

SPX, ES, NDX, YM in USD's,

EOE in EUR's

CAC40 in EUR's (but I hate the multiplier, and I have yet to get filled. I put in the orders and wait... and wait...)

FTSE in GBP's

GC, CL, SB, ZW in USD's

SXO (TSE60) in CAD's

EUR-USD, CAD-USD in USD's

I don't play everything every month. I play whatever I can get money for. In the past CL was very profitable for me, but now my EUR's are my bigger positions. Before I could not get a fill for SPX, or ES's, but now it is much easier.

My point is that if you are going to play say the Nikkei you should play it in Yen, not USD. Since otherwise you are managing 2 independent risks...
